Installation could be complete by the end of next week, weather permitting, according to the Mayor. During the transition, there is free parking in some authority lots.

Electronic pay stations should be welcome news to the business owners and residents who complained last year when the authority raised metered lot rates to 75 cents per hour, but only accepted coins as payment.

The parking meters along Bridgeville’s streets will remain. Lots that are currently permit-only will remain as such.
